An autobiographical work examining the formation of a nineteenth-century American intellect amid rapid social and technological change.

In The Education of Henry Adams, the author reflects upon his upbringing within a prominent political family and his subsequent attempts to understand the forces shaping modern life. Moving between personal experience and broader historical observation, Adams considers the limitations of traditional education when confronted with the accelerating transformations of the late nineteenth century.
